BABOLAT PURE STRIKE LIGHT HOW TO

With time, you will be able to create much more powerful shots from a stable, all-round racket than with these super light power rackets. The ball pings of the strings with these rackets, but you’re not in control of the process. Often players that are new to tennis can get sold on gimmicky advertising of super powerful, super light rackets that, in reality, don’t offer you any stability. The Pure Aero Lite is extremely well balanced though, and for a racket in its weight class, it does give you good stability. One thing you often find with a light racket, such as this one, is that it can lose a lot of stability on contact with the ball and this can make it hard to control your shots. I do find the regular Pure Aero to be very good in this area as well though, so don’t discount that one. Tennis is hard enough without having to swing a heavy racket, which makes these Lite rackets such an attractive prospect. This is a nice characteristic to have when you’re a beginner or intermediate as it just means there’s one less thing you have to think about. You might be new to the movements of tennis, but you won’t have any problems swinging with this racket. Sometimes we don’t have as much time as we would like though, so I took the Babolat Pure Aero Lite out for a playtest to get some of the hard work done for you!

I gave this stick a couple of days of practice, to see exactly what the Lite had to offer.Īs we recently mentioned in a guest blog post on How to Choose the Perfect Racket, the key to getting the right racket is trying it out for a good amount of time. I’m more of a control guy myself, but I don’t mind getting out for a playtest with a more spin and power-oriented racket like the Babolat Pure Aero Lite. Particularly as a beginner, a little help on the power and spin side can be very helpful, but as you develop your game, the control side becomes more important.Įither way, it’s a good idea to try both rackets and see which suits you best. When you put the two together, power and spin sound a lot better than control but there are benefits to both. The two rackets are very different though, with the Pure Strike offering excellent levels of control and the Aero Pure being more power and spin oriented. I recently play tested the Babolat Pure Strike Team which is another good option for beginners. The frame is extremely easy to manoeuvre, which means you can generate good swing speed and the strings take care of the rest for you.

One thing that Pure Aero rackets guarantee is massive amounts of spin, so if that is something you struggle with, these rackets could be perfect. You’ve got to remember though, that as a beginner, you are likely to improve your game very quickly, so you might outgrow the Pure Aero Lite before you know it. This weight is perhaps better suited to beginner and intermediate juniors than adults who will probably be strong enough to use the 300g Babolat Pure Aero, but it is worth trying them both to see which one best suits you. While the Pure Aero Tour is better suited to intermediate and advanced players, the Lite caters much more to beginner and intermediate players.Īt 270g unstrung, the Pure Aero Lite is light enough for adults and juniors who are learning the game and don’t want to be carrying around a really heavy racket.
